gollark: How would *you* do it?
gollark: Well, except the Python ones; everyone knows Python can't `write` and you have to construct an ELF binary to call out to to do that instead.
gollark: And my last ones.
gollark: Even *I* know that the right way to do it would be to write the data to a file, use a hexdump program on the file, pipe that to the `printf` command or something to convert that to decimal, and then redirect the output of *that* to a file which you then memory-map and call `write` on.
